One last question re: the cron cookbook. How do you get it to run every 5 minutes? 

cron_d 'plugin_script' do
  minute 5
  hour
  command "/root/plugin.sh"
  user "root"


^^ Would run every hour at 1:05, 2:05

cron_d 'plugin_script' do
  minute /5
  hour
  command "/root/plugin.sh"
  user "root"

^^ Doesn't like the regex syntax

Nope, as Morgan pointed out, look at the behavior of the cookbook_file resource and understand where the resource will look for the file (within the files/ subdir in your cookbook).

Is the below section actually taking the script from your /tmp folder and uploading it to the server in the /tmp directory?
